Abstract

An image magnifying apparatus includes a processor configured to execute non-transitory machine readable instructions to configure the processor to, receive the image data, generate a first interpolation pixel between pixels of the image data, by applying a first interpolation method based on a high-band spectrum of the image data, generate a second interpolation pixel between pixels of the image data, by applying a second interpolation method not based on the high-band spectrum of the image data, identify a pattern of pixels of the image data by extracting peripheral pixels of an interpolation object position in the image data, select whether to apply the first interpolation method to the interpolation object position or whether to apply the second interpolation method to the interpolation object position, and output one of the first interpolation pixel and the second interpolation pixel, as an output interpolation pixel, based on the selection.
